  • For any hockey fans he reminded me so much of a young Sidney Crosby. Incredibly talented, but just a real whiney bitch about it. It was actually a solid performance in that regard.

  • Crazy thing I've been noticing more and more. When I search "[thing I want to know] reddit" there are always one or two comments in the top results from reddit, usually much more recent than the others, very clearly shilling a product. Sometimes it's an edit purely to include a product the user just thinks is really great that sends you to an affiliate link-ridden site.

  • For reference, the seven tenants listed next to the destroyed display:

    I One should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason.

    II The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions.

    III One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.

    IV The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one's own.

    V Beliefs should conform to one's best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one's beliefs.

    VI People are fallible. If one makes a mistake, one should do one's best to rectify it and resolve any harm that might have been caused.

    VII Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word.


    It makes a lot of sense to me why Christians would be against this.

  • You listed a lot of things that were foreshadowed largely in the books. I felt that the dialogue just about immediately fell off as soon as they ran out of book. Everyone felt very much on their own "tracks" and did not veer past that starting immediately with how they dealt with Jon just...coming back at the start of the season. Characters started teleporting wherever they needed to be, and episodes started feeling a lot more like a poor combination of big budget action scenes and desperate attempts to connect those by having two characters talk at each other alone in a room.

    I feel like Jaime's failed redemption arc was missing something (maybe a couple books worth of further development and foreshadowing?) and the whole Bran debacle felt like it was really supposed to be something and they just "kind of forgot" to ever actually set it up.

    I think there are some good reasons GRRM has had such trouble finishing the series and the show runners just never even noticed and steamrolled straight to the end.

  • I used to use it every day until I realized my new phone doesn't have one. Now I still use wired headphones for music when I'm near my computer. I have bluetooth earbuds that work...okay, but I have to deal with one earbud not connecting, or making sure I haven't lost one, or I take one out for a second to hear something and the music just stops, or it just doesn't connect to begin with, or I want to switch between two devices and it would be sooo much easier to just unplug something and plug it back in than to go through settings, unpair/re-pair between two devices, and hope that it actually worked the first time.
